The BBC has announced that a panel of experts will now choose the winning choir to perform at the final of Any Dream Will Do.

Originally the public were supposed to vote on their favourite choir via the BBC website, but due to technical problems and talk of unfair voting, the BBC has decided to let the experts decide.

The 843 choir entries will be whittled down to 20 by the same expert panel who selected the Joseph finalists from regional heats, which includes the show’s vocal coach and judge, Zoe Tyler.

The winner will then by chosen by Andrew Lloyd Webber and fellow composer Howard Goodall.
